OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1939 Voters Approve Consolidation Of High Schools HELI* OBMEHVE CLEAN- VP WEEK Walker Voters Give Seven Majority to Plan of Consolidation FIRST TWO HIGH SCHOOLS TO BE CONSOLIDATED Consolidation of the Walker and Cottage Grove Union High School districts was approved by voters of the two districts at a xjx-clal election held Tuesday eve ning. Dical voters approved the plan without a dissenting vote while the plan received a major ity of seven in the Walker dis trict. Consolidation of the high school of the two districts will add approximately thirty two to thirty six pupils to the union high school enrollment. Pupils from the Walker district will be fur nished transportation and plans ma<ie to care for the additional enrollment even though the new union high school is not finished by the beginning of the school term next September, The vote in the two districts is summarized as follows: For Against Walker 63 56 Cottage Grove 48 0 Present plans for the accommo dation of the Walker grade pu pils are not known. Surrounding districts have cmployi-d teachers for another year, but no teachers have been employed in the Walk er schools.

Grounds Will Be Improved Taylor avenue from sixth street to the Union High School grounds will be improved as a WPA pro- ject; the improvements will prob ably include all of four blocks from Sixth street to the new high school grounds, connecting with Tenth street. Monday evening at the regular city council meeting the council passed a resolution endorsing the project; such en dorsement being neci»ssary before the proji-ct could be carried through. It is probable the street will first be graveled and then after the gravel has set for sev eral months, paved. The council also voted to send Fire Chief Don Allen to the state firemen’s convention to be held in Portland June 5. 6 and 7. City Recorder Coiner was instructed to write Mrs. W J. White in re gard to cleaning up the lot where the old building burned on Fifth street. The council also agreed to sell two lots on Monroe and Tenth street to Clyde Sturdevant. Special Program at Dorena Grange May 4 Unique Miniature Train System Built and Operated by Robert Boyce la-spite the fact that the rail road is one of the oldest methods of transportation, which has been modernized, the locomotive and the operation of trains still fasci nate the average individual. Still more interesting is the model electric railway system build by Robert Boyce, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Boyce, or rather we should say being constructed by young Boyce because the project ed system Is improved and en larged anti once all the contem plated improvements are inaugu rated, the system will probably represent the most elaborate miniature railway to be found in th«- northwest. The electric railway is located in the work shop of young Boyce with the tracks built near the walls and circling the Interior of the workshop. Now the operator can run five trains on approxi mately 3(X) feet of track and by means of electric switches control the operation of trains, much in the same manner as the larger modem trains are operated. It is NEW GARDEN PEAS Mrs. E. R. Darnell of the Silk Creek community may be rushing the gardening sea son, but she has new garden peas ready to eat and yester day brought to the Sentinel office a sample of the fresh peas. The crop now ready to eat is from a volunteer, stand left last fall. Mrs. Darnell is of the opinion that fall is the proper planting time, at least during most years, if garden- ers and others would raise early peas. At any rate Mrs. Darnell has established probably a record for growing early peas. possible to have all five trains running at one time, although the task of watching each of the five trains when running is almost an impossible one. Pretty near every safety de vice employed in the modem rail roading system is to be found in the miniature display with signal lights, automatic switches and what have you on the job to avoid collisions and wrecks. Notwith- standing the speed of each train can be controlled, the train re- versed or stopped at any given point, young Boyce is working on a switch board, to be placed just above the control switches, which will give a complete picture of the operation of each train on a given track, and the tracks by the way, run over bridges, through tunnels and up grades just like big trains. There is baggage, mail sacks, an engine wiper made from pipe cleaners, porters and train personnel and materials to be Clair Wilkes, assistant secre- found near the terminal, all of which adds a realistic touch to tary of the Lane county agricul ture conservation association and the miniature system. members of the local committee are spending two days at the city hall, assisting farmers with their 1939 farm program.
